  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm your host Greg Mingal, and I love Central Indiana Sports.

  [SPEAKER_00]: Coming up today, May 1st, 2026, a very busy Friday ahead of a very busy weekend.
• 0:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Caitlyn Clarks returned a wild night in the NBA playoffs, Stanley Cup, Reds, local and national news and notes, and high school and local college softball and baseball.
• 0:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: And high school and local college baseball and softball.
• 1:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just a reminder, this show airs first thing in the morning on weekend, so 8 a.m. tomorrow.

  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll have current L-Wood Colleter and Tipton Truett.
• 1:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll have current L-Wood Cump Tipton Tribune Sports Editor for Michelle Garman and former Jeffersonville evening news and New Albany Tribune Sports Editor for my cuts all on to talk about the new IHSS.
• 1:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know proposals in particular in IL and a basketball shot clock was a fun and fascinating conversation.
• 1:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much for joining us.
• 1:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Your 10-minute update begins now.
• 1:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hey, everybody, it's May.
• 1:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: The best month in Indiana, especially when the Paces are planned.
• 1:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Stay tuned for that in 2027.
• 1:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: We are 23 days away from the 110 Indianapolis 500.
• 1:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Of course, the next time there's activity on the track at IMS, it'll be on the road course.
• 1:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not quite like the old days, but
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's still Andy and it's May and I cannot wait.
• 2:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Looking forward to bringing you the news every day that there are cars on the track.
• 2:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we have an indie car report with Elijah Poe coming up later today discussing the two days of testing at IMS a couple of days ago.
• 2:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Indiana fever lost 95 to 80 to the Dallas wings, and their final W NBA preseason game, none of that matters.
• 2:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Of course, what matters is, fever fans got to see Caitlyn Clark for the first time since June, on Thursday at the field house.
• 2:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Caitlyn had it going early.
• 2:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: She finished with 21 points in four assists and just 16 minutes, going four for six from the field, two for three from behind the three point line, and 11 or 13 at the foul.
• 2:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: She left the game after being hit by a round of Smith, but I didn't seem too serious.
• 2:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: She didn't return, but her night was probably done anyway.
• 2:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: We released a fever report after the game on Thursday night with John Robertson and Michelle Garmin recapping and reacting to the preseason game against the wings.
• 3:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: The fever hosts the Nigerian national team in their final regular season warm-up, Saturday a seven, and the regular season kicks off next Saturday against the same wings.
• 3:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: But a bummer that the rest of the NBA playoffs are going to be played without the world's best player, Nicola Yokech.
• 3:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Jamie McDaniels got his revenge on the nuggets with 32 points, and even without Anthony Edwards, the Timberwolves eliminated Yokech and the nuggets.
• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: They won 1098 Game 6 victory.
• 3:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Might be over for the Yokech nuggets.
• 3:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: and did the Atlanta Hawk show up to Game 6 drunk?
• 3:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Seriously, that's the only explanation that I can figure out what happened last night.
• 3:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: The most one-sided playoff game I can ever remember facing elimination in Game 6 here's how the Hawk's responded by trailing 50 to 16, 72 to 22, 93 to 36, and 111 to 40.
• 3:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: insane.
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: The nicks look great on both ends of course.
• 3:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thought for sure it was going to be the nicks and Celtics in the second round for Eastern Conference of Primacy.
• 4:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not even sure Boston will get there.
• 4:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's really look like they're in good shape to win the Eastern Conference.
• 4:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Celtics on the other hand looked awful the last couple of nights.
• 4:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Paul George and Joel and Beat look like the old Paul George and Joel and Beat and Tyrese Maxi scored 30.
• 4:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: With the first round winding down, we have three game-sixes tonight on-prime video.
• 4:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: At seven, the magic can end top-seed Detroit season uncerebonously with a victory in Orlando.
• 4:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I should be fun.
• 4:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: At 730, Cleveland is at Toronto.
• 4:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Raptors looking to force a game seven in Cleveland, I think they will.

  [SPEAKER_00]: And the Lakers go for a shot at history at 930 and Houston.
• 4:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: 159 teams in NBA history of won the first three games in a series.
• 4:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Every single one of them has advanced to the next round.

  [SPEAKER_00]: Fun night again.
• 5:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: In the NHL, the Minnesota Wild and Hime ducts advanced in the Western Conference playoffs with Game Six wins on Wednesday night, both by five to two final scores.
• 5:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: The Wild will take on West favorite Colorado when the ducts get either Vegas or Utah in the West to my finals.
• 5:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: No schedule yet, that's because there are still three ongoing series in the first round.
• 5:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Lightning Canadians at 7 and Monterey all with the Canadians having the opportunity to advance.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's on ESPN too.
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: The other two are on ESPN at 730, the sabers look to close out the Bruins in Boston and the night ends with Vegas Utah at 10, again the winner gets anhyp.
• 5:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: That'll be the night's with a win tonight, of course again 7 if the mammoth are
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: able to pull that one off.
• 5:46
